The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
In my good good morning
I'm up before the sun can bring,
Early morning, and everyone
Like a shiny thing.
All my angels appear
Before my window saying
"good morning"
In my good morning
In my good, good morning
I feel before my thoughts all spring.
Am I conscious or
Is this my unconscious being
No more like a dream than a
God before my conscious saying
"good morning" in my good morning?
In my good, good morning
I'm up before the sun can bring,
Early morining, and everyone like a shiny
Thing.
No more like a dream, then a God before
My conscious saying
"good morning" in my good morning.
I'm up before the sun can bring,
Early morning, and everyone
Like a shiny thing.
All my angels appear
Before my window saying
"good morning"
In my good morning
In my good, good morning
I feel before my thoughts all spring.
Am I conscious or
Is this my unconscious being
No more like a dream than a
God before my conscious saying
"good morning" in my good morning?
In my good, good morning
I'm up before the sun can bring,
Early morining, and everyone like a shiny
Thing.
No more like a dream, then a God before
My conscious saying
"good morning" in my good morning.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This song is epic, easily my favourite Dandys track. It conjures images of waking up to a beautiful crisp day in Summer and beginning a great adventure. Instantly puts me in a great mood, love it.
their best song-beautiful
This has to be one of the most perfect songs ever written. This song to me is about waking up on a sunshiny Saturday morning next to my lover,seeing how beautiful she is and realising that today everything is perfect but not really believing that it could be so.
this has got to be THE most comforting, happy song i own. it actually brings me to tears.
i agree with arcarsenel. this gives me an image of me of waking up next to someone i love after our first night together and realising how beautiful they are for the first time (pretty much what he said)
I love waking up to this song! So refreshing, It's exactly what I need in the morning!
I love the intro to this song as well, it is so relaxing and just has a way of setting your mind straight amidst so much commotion.
this song is so refreshing to listen to after a really long day.
Its spiritual. I play as I'm about to get off the subway as I walk up Broadway to my office.
this is such a gorgeous song. it reminds me of the times i've been up early enough to watch the sun rise. as well as looking through my telescope, it makes me think about how awesome this universe is.
